Use this App up to a dozen times per day. Jon Colman's balanced journalism is first class.

EXPERIENCE!! 🙄 I cannot get passed 'Carlisle Cathedral'! (Not that I'm complaining 🤪) Uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. 🥺😔 u
★☆☆☆☆ Gary Cosway · Jun 9, 2023
Useless unless subscribed, no trial run to see what it's like. I've emailed them twice without a response over 2 weeks. Waste of time downloading it. Reply, True you get 2 free articles, but you wouldn't buy a house if you could only see 2 rooms!
